BAKED TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH QUINOA
This easy recipe is a lighter take on an Italian comfort food favorite. We're bypassing the ground beef and skipping the spaghetti but still packing a whole lot of flavor into each spherical bite. Breadcrumbs soaked in milk help seal in the moisture, while baking the meatballs in a mini muffin pan helps them brown evenly (but a baking pan works well, too!).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Generously coat a nonstick mini muffin pan or baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together the milk and breadcrumbs. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa according to package directions.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, garlic, parsley, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the soaked breadcrumb mixture. Use your hands to thoroughly combine the mixture and then shape it into balls using 2 to 3 tablespoons of meat per meatball.
- Arrange the meatballs in the muffin pan or in a single layer in the prepared baking pan. Bake until the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- When ready to serve, divide the quinoa among plates, then place the meatballs on top. Spoon the warm marinara sauce over the meatballs and garnish with Parmesan.
TURKEY AND QUINOA MEATBALLS
I developed this recipe with turkey and quinoa, but have since used it successfully with just about every type of ground meat and variety of grain. The addition of grains not only adds nutritional value and keeps the texture light, but also helps those on a budget stretch a small amount of quality meat into a bigger meal. It's simple, clean, nutritious eating but will please even the pickiest of meatloaf lovers. Make extra grains and serve those alongside a green salad, steamed asparagus, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray a little nonstick spray on it.
- Mix water and chia seeds together in a bowl to soak; set aside for 15 minutes. Stir after a few minutes to make sure all of the chia seeds are soaking up the water.
- Finely chop onions, carrots, celery, spinach, and garlic in a food processor.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté vegetable mixture over medium heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Set it aside and let it cool a bit before mixing with other ingredients, about 10 minutes.
- Mix turkey, quinoa, eggs, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the chia seed and water mixture (it should be sort of firm, almost like gelatin). Mix in the cooled vegetable mixture.
- Shape turkey mixture into 48 meatballs and place onto the prepared pan. Brush with ketchup.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
